Using Checklist reports in Aliquot
Checklists are meant to be a short form report with 4 columns and 1 inline note section for each row. Much like the Service Report they have a grid with components and tests. Instead of the components & test belonging to an Individual system, they are global.
Key Advantage of Checklist Reports: They’re fast, standardized, and repeatable, making them perfect for recurring tasks where the main goal is to confirm conditions and spot issues early.
Checklist Examples:
🔹 Preventive Maintenance Rounds
Quick log of system checks (e.g., pumps, controllers, tanks).
Record if equipment is running, any alarms, and basic operating parameters.
Check boxes for “OK / Needs Attention.”
🔹 Compliance or Safety Inspections
Quick record of eyewash station checks, spill kit status, or PPE availability.
Confirm signage, MSDS access, or chemical labeling compliance
🔹 Equipment Spot Checks
Snap inspection of filters, softeners, boilers, or cooling towers.
Capture a few key values (pressure, hardness, temperature).
Note whether corrective action is needed.
